Full Incident Analysis Transcript
In this Rankiteo incident briefing, we review the Enzene Biosciences Ltd breach identified under incident ID ENZ2594225112225.
The analysis begins with a detailed overview of Enzene Biosciences Ltd's information like the linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/enzene, the number of followers: 150000, the industry type: Biotechnology and the number of employees: 942 employees
After the initial compromise, the video explains how Rankiteo's incident engine converts technical details into a normalized incident score. The incident score before the incident was 764 and after the incident was 745 with a difference of -19 which is could be a good indicator of the severity and impact of the incident.
In the next step of the video, we will analyze in more details the incident and the impact it had on Enzene Biosciences Ltd and their customers.
On 15 May 2025, Enzene Biosciences Limited disclosed Business Email Compromise (BEC) issues under the banner "Cyberattack on Enzene Biosciences Leading to Fraudulent Fund Transfer".
Alkem Laboratories Ltd disclosed that its subsidiary, Enzene Biosciences, experienced a cyberattack targeting its U.S.
The disruption is felt across the environment, affecting Business email accounts, and exposing No (no intellectual property or clinical data reported stolen).
In response, teams activated the incident response plan, and stakeholders are being briefed through Public disclosure to stock exchanges (BSE and NSE) citing transparency and corporate governance.
The case underscores how Ongoing (independent cybersecurity firms conducting forensic analysis), teams are taking away lessons such as The incident highlights the need for stronger cybersecurity reviews across subsidiaries, particularly in high-risk sectors like pharmaceuticals. Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks remain a significant threat, emphasizing the importance of securing email communications and financial transaction protocols, and recommending next steps like Enhance email security measures (e.g., multi-factor authentication, phishing training), Implement stricter financial transaction verification processes and Conduct regular cybersecurity audits across all subsidiaries, with advisories going out to stakeholders covering Public disclosure to stock exchanges (BSE and NSE) as part of corporate governance.
Finally, we try to match the incident with the MITRE ATT&CK framework to see if there is any correlation between the incident and the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
The MITRE ATT&CK framework is a knowledge base of techniques and sub-techniques that are used to describe the tactics and procedures of cyber adversaries. It is a powerful tool for understanding the threat landscape and for developing effective defense strategies.
MITRE ATT&CK® Correlation Analysis
Rankiteo's analysis has identified several MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques associated with this incident, each with varying levels of confidence based on available evidence. Under the Initial Access tactic, the analysis identified Valid Accounts: Cloud Accounts (T1078.004) with high confidence (95%), with evidence including compromised business email accounts of certain employees, and attack vector such as Compromised business email accounts and Phishing: Spearphishing Link (T1566.002) with moderate to high confidence (85%), supported by evidence indicating business Email Compromise (BEC) (commonly initiated via phishing). Under the Credential Access tactic, the analysis identified Unsecured Credentials: Credentials In Files (T1552.001) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating compromised business email accounts (possible credential theft/storage in emails) and Steal Web Session Cookie (T1539) with moderate confidence (65%), supported by evidence indicating exploited these compromised emails (session hijacking possible for cloud email access). Under the Persistence tactic, the analysis identified Account Manipulation: Email Forwarding Rule (T1098.003) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating compromised business email accounts (common BEC persistence via inbox rules). Under the Defense Evasion tactic, the analysis identified Hide Artifacts: Email Hiding Rules (T1564.008) with moderate to high confidence (80%), supported by evidence indicating compromised business email accounts (BEC actors often hide malicious emails via rules). Under the Lateral Movement tactic, the analysis identified Internal Spearphishing (T1534) with moderate to high confidence (75%), supported by evidence indicating compromised business email accounts (possible internal phishing to escalate access). Under the Collection tactic, the analysis identified Email Collection: Remote Email Collection (T1114.002) with high confidence (90%), with evidence including business email communications compromised for fraudulent transactions, and sensitivity of data such as Moderate (email communications used for fraudulent transactions). Under the Impact tactic, the analysis identified Financial Theft (T1657) with high confidence (95%), with evidence including fraudulent transfer of funds, unauthorized financial transaction, and motivation such as Financial gain. Under the Command and Control tactic, the analysis identified Application Layer Protocol: Web Protocols (T1071.001) with moderate to high confidence (70%), supported by evidence indicating compromised business email accounts (likely C2 via legitimate email protocols). These correlations help security teams understand the attack chain and develop appropriate defensive measures based on the observed tactics and techniques.
